30-year-old LaPorsha Washington was trying to move out of the Walmart parking lot with her four children in the vehicle around 7 a.m. when an unknown assailant in a red truck pulled up and fired shots into Washington's auto. As she drove, not realizing that one of the shooter's bullets had pierced her arm, a teenage daughter, wounded by shattered glass cried that her little sister was not moving.

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said Wednesday at a news conference that his office would take another look at the unsolved 2017 case in which a white gunman opened fire on a Black driver, the Associated Pressreported.

"The police got there and they were just asking: 'Who got shot and who I was beefing with?" The gunman was driving a red or maroon pickup truck while firing on the auto, the sheriff's office said.

The new sketch, published on Thursday, was compiled from testimony by Ms Washington and two of her daughters, aged 13 and 15, who were in the auto at the time.

As of now, the shooter is still at large according to the Harris County Police Department.

The case has gained prominence across the USA, and celebrities have joined the appeal to find Jazmine's killer using the hashtag #JusticeForJazmine. The driver of the pickup pulled alongside Washington's vehicle and fired inside, authorities have said.

In the days following the crime, the reward for information leading to the arrest of the person responsible for Jazmine's death has gone up to $100,000.

Gonzalez said the investigators' main focus is identifying the man and finding the truck.
